George Pell and conservatism : Comments

By Peter Bowden, published 13/3/2019

The Catholic defence is perhaps understandable. But a bigger issue to this writer is why are all the conservatives supporting Pell?

Why are conservatives supporting George Pell? Because the lack of objective "evidence", rather than unsubstantiated assertions, is strongly reminiscent of the "false memory syndrome" scandal of the 1990s. Got it?

Conservatives believe in justice, not witch hunting. Police and their paymasters targeted a group following the RC into child abuse, and ADVERTISED for victims. It's an investigation technique copied from the UK called 'trawling, never used in Australia before.

What an opportunity for fame, sympathy and, most of all MONEY in compensation! All the 'victims' have to do is suddenly 'remember' dreadful things happening to them many years ago, when there cannot be any chance of evidence. The creepy 'anti-racist' commissioner in the HRC did a similar thing - advertising for victims - without the success of the Putsch against the Catholic church. The #metoo phenomenon is another example. Its all an ongoing attack on white men.

Firstly, whether or not Pell had sex with trainee priests is nobodies business. Trainee priests are not children. Last time I looked, sex between consenting adults was legal.
As for the sex abuse conviction, conservatives are more likely to study the actual facts of the case and not be swayed by emotion.

we have seen the pussy headed regressive elite in America support lying women making up rape claims in order to see a man appointed as a judge, we have seen the regressives constantly lie about Islam and demonise anyone that questions their lies, we see the lying regressives deny that an unborn child is a human even up to birth. And we now have Peter a Professor of 'ethics' questioning why conservatives question the decisions of the elite. I personally have no time for the Catholic church but one needs to be blind not to see the consistent and often dishonest attacks the abc Marxist has had on Pell for the last 20 years. It has been conveniently overlooked that the first jury could not come to a verdict. Just like Brexit in Britain the so called progressives never let democracy take take its course.

Conservatism and genuine ethical Christianity are mutually exclusive belief systems. Why then are the hard right jumpingto Pell's defence? Well given Pell is also a hard right conservative, therefore, the Birds of a feather arguement would seem to fly!?

Big Nana, a die-hard conservative, makes some absurd claims for conservatives and bags the abused victims (pussy heads) for speaking out against an abuser?

As for taking an honest look at the evidence!? Risible beyond adequate description!

I mean, and in the face of overwhelming mountainous evidence, they almost to a generic man, believe that GW and CC are just BS and just so a few grubs can get their grubby hands on the public purse?

And one might rightly claim, judging others by their own highly flawed standards!?

I think that Big Nana's (evidence-free) accusations are outrageous and ought to be apologised for and withdrawn, ASAP!
